On with the fic!
Chapter Two: Seto POV
I held open the limo door, letting Bakura crawl in before I easily slid into the seat. Once I had briefcase put away, I casually glanced towards his direction, only to receive slightly amused smile. It had been two weeks since I first offered to drive Bakura home on that evening. Why I did it, I'm still not really sure of. Something about him draws me towards the boy. He seem so lost and alone. And for some reason, I want to help him. I want to be the one to catch him when he's falling. And if I'm not able to help him, I want to be the only one to witness the train wreck, just so that I can be the only one able to out the pieces back together. I know he has friends, but they don't really pay attention to him, at least not the attention he deserves. It seems as if Bakura didn't show up one day, he would go unnoticed until somebody needed to borrow Chemistry notes. He really deserves more than that. But then again, I don't know for sure. I try to stay away from Yugi and his fanclub as much as possible. Well, at least -most- of his fanclub. It's just that, I never bothered to notice the boy before that one day. I never really even knew he exist. He was just there. Now, I look forward to seeing him everyday.
"Thank you for inviting me over Kaiba, " Bakura said brightly, tearing me away from my thoughts of the boy. I looked over at him to see a shy smile and slightly red face. He was still nervous around me, I could tell. At least he had gotten to the point where he could sit still. The first day I drove him home, he kept twitching and looking around as if looking for something. At one point, he spun around to see what was behind him. Once he saw that there was nothing back there, he sunk lower into the seat, his face a few shades whiter. It was almost like he was expecting someone with a gun to pop out and shoot him...
"Don't worry about it," I replied a little too warmly for normal Kaiba-like behavior, "...and call me Seto." I looked over at the boy to see the results that I wanted; Bakura's face was stained with a deep red and he was stuttering over incomprehensible words.
"O-okay, Ka-Seto," I laughed inwardly as his face slowly returned to its normal color and he stop twisting his hands. I noticed he did that when he was nervous. It's the little things...
"So, Bakura,what would you like to do? We have-"
"Ryou," he cut in, "If I get to call you by your name then you should get to call me by mine." His face was red once again and his hands were rather twitchy, but besides that, he looked rather proud of himself for correcting me. And I have to say that so was I.
"Okay then, Ryou," I smiled down at him. Just as I was about to continue our conversation, the car came to a stop. I gave Ba-Ryou a reassuring smile before sliding out of the door with ease. I watched as he attempted to get out the door, only to trip on his other leg. I reached out and grabbed his arm to steady him while he muttered many many thank you's. I gently nodded at him before showing him to the front door.
Ryou's POV
I could tell that I still had a blush on my face I stepped up to the front door. There is no way on Earth that this could be considered a house. You could probably fit an entire colony of early American pilgrims that you read about in history, and they would still have room left over. I gawked up at it a moment longer before Kaiba gently pushed me forward. I mean Seto pushed me forward...
If I was amazed at the outside of the house, that was nothing compared to the inside. The place was breathtaking to say the least. I stood at a complete standstill before Kaiba, I mean Seto, let out a small laugh. I blushed at realization that he was probably laughing at my reaction and the fact that the Seto Kaiba was laughing. Not taunting anyone or getting into somebody's head during a duel. No, he was actually laughing, even if it was only a small one...
I broke my gaze from my surroundings to look up Kaib-Seto to see there was still the tinniest hint of a smile on his face. I realized that I had been twisting my hands and quickly pulled them apart. I must look like an idiot. "You must get reactions like that all the time," Hmm, that came out relatively good. Score one for Ryou.
"I wouldn't know. I've never had anyone over before," I looked up puzzled to see that he was already making his way towards a room to his left. I felt myself frown slightly, but then I hurried to catch up with him. I would hate to get lost in a place like this. I would never find my way out. I could just imagine it. Kaiba would have just brought over some big shot executives and be showing them around when they suddenly hear a cry for help. When questioned about it, Kaiba would answer,'Oh it's just some kid I unfortunately lost.' 'Oh, did he die and is now haunting you?' 'No, I lost him. In the West Wing I think. Sometimes, I think I can still hear him crying at night...'
I shuddered at the at the clip that had just run through my head. I looked around just to make sure that I wasn't too far behind. We walked a little further until we came to room that I would assume is a family room. Sitting in a over-sized chair that made me think of the "Big Comfy Couch"[1] was Mokuba. He looked up from whatever he was drawing to run over to Seto. He pounced on him, talking faster than I could comprehend. Seto smiled down at him before putting a finger to the child's mouth to silence him.
"You didn't even notice that we have company, Mokuba," I looked around to see if someone had managed to sneak up behind me before I realized it was me he was talking about. I gave Mokuba a weak smile before he unlatched himself from Seto only to jump up on me. I stumbled slightly before regaining my composure. I awkwardly patted his head while looking at Seto, silently pleading that he would tell me what I was suppose to do. Seto gave a weak smile before readdressing the boy.
"Mokuba, Ryou and I," I flushed slightly at the sound of my name," are going to watch a movie. I think that maybe you should go upstairs and finish your homework. Okay?"
"Okay big brother!" the ever excited Mokuba replied. He ran over to the big comfy couch to collect his possessions. He hugged Seto one more time and chirped a goodbye to me before he was gone. I eyed the door that the hyper boy had just disappeared from before Seto brought me back to reality.
"If you want to take a seat, I'll go ahead and set everything up." I looked around at the different pieces of furniture before deciding that I liked the big comfy couch one. I sat down and sunk down into the over sized pillow that matched the chair perfectly. I checked up on Seto who was currently messing with some wires.I took the time to look around, but really wasn't able to concentrate that easily. I kept picturing that girl dressed up as a clown and the little doll that never talked. It was a little unknown fact that I loved to watch shows that were aimed for preschoolers. They just remind me so much of the innocence I once possessed before a certain a necklace came into my life. And it just so happens that one of my favorite shows is "The Big Comfy Couch". I risked a glance at Seto before I started to sing the theme song in my head. It really was catchy and never left your head once it found a home there. I slightly bobbed my head to the little jingle, occasionally looking at my surroundings. I must have zoned out because the next thing I knew, Seto was looking at me expectantly, as if waiting for an answer.
"E-excuse me?" I said sheepishly. He grinned slightly before restating his question.
"Do you have a movie preference?"
'It's Luna and Molly...'
"We have many different movies..."
'...a clown and her dolly...'
"..and if you don't like any of these, we have more in another room..."
'...on the big comfy couch!' I sang the song over and over in my head while trying to make out what Seto was asking me. Movie...pick a movie...
"Do you have the "Big Comfy Couch"?" I asked dimly before I realized what I was saying.
Seto just looked at me oddly before replying, "No, I don't think so..." I blushed deeply at how dumb I must have sounded.
"Uh, anything will work..." I mumbled, throughly embarrassed. He glanced at me once more before bending down to pull out a dvd box. He put the dvd in the player, then sat down in a couch that was angled right next to my seat. The federal warnings came on and I noticed that I was once again twisting my hands around. I immediately stopped and glanced at Seto out of the corner of my eye. He was facing the television set, but his eyes were glazed over as if in deep thought. Then, in a sudden rush of noise, the dvd menu came on to reveal that the movie was in fact "Edward Scissorhands"[2].
It was, in fact, one of my favorite movies, but I never imagined that Seto even knew that it existed, non the less watched it. I watched the screen carefully as he pushed the play button and settled back into the couch. As the beginning intro started, the realization hit me hard: I cried every time I saw this movie. It didn't matter that I've seen it dozens of times, it made me cry...a lot. And it wasn't like 'Oh, that's sad' cry. It was like 'I was torn up for a week after the movie ended' cry. I nervously glanced at Seto to gratefully see a box of tissues on the end table that separated our seats. I grabbed a few, trying to look as inconspicuous as possible, but he somehow manged to notice. He looked over at me and gave a reassuring smile before picking one up for himself. I know that my jaw dropped, but I really didn't notice at the moment. The Seto Kaiba just grabbed a tissue because of a movie. I gave him one more look before turning back to the movie.
We watched the majority of the movie in silence. I dreaded the moment that the movie would come to an end mostly because I did not like to let people see me cry. But surely enough, the moment neared closer an closer until it had finally came. I pulled the tissue closer to my face as Winona Ryder's character, Kim, leaned up to Edward to say goodbye with those final three words. I tried to stop the tears, I really did, but I couldn't help it. I glanced over at Seto to see that tears shone on his eyes too. He looked over at me and gave a little smile. He raised his tissue as if it was a wine glass and gave a 'toast. I did the same, giggling through my tears.
He stared at the screen for a few more seconds before speaking so quietly that I could barely hear him, "How can she know that she loves him?"
I looked at him for a few seconds before deciding that he wanted an answer, "What do you mean?"
"I mean, she could have sworn that she didn't care about Edward, that she loved that other guy. But here she is saying that she loves him. How can she be so sure? I don't know what it would take for me to love someone, but how do you know that you love them? What does it take?"
I studied him closely, his eyes still set on the screen. "What would it take for me to love somebody...I guess someone to acknowledge that I exist, at least in a positive way. I mean more than just saying 'hi' as they pass me. Someone who would do something as simple as holding open a door for me or saying 'Bless you' after I sneeze. Sounds simple enough, ne? And yet, you'd be amazed at how things have turned out. I know that most people would wish for a "prince, complete with a happily ever after", but in reality, all I want is a tissue and a small "Bless you". Maybe this is my way of making sure that I don't fall on love, since I know better than to expect such things. Maybe this is just my way of avoiding pain..." I trailed off, getting deeper and deeper into my thoughts. Just then, realization of what I was saying came to me. "That's probably really silly, so never mind..." I blushed deeply and felt my hands twist around themselves, but I didn't bother to stop them this time.
I looked at Seto out of the corner of my eye. He had this thoughtful look on his face. The he spoke in the same hushed tone, "No that's not silly at all...It actually makes perfect sense..." he looked down to his lap as I did the same to mine. I had torn up the previously crushed tissue and it now sat in shreds on my lap. I began gathering the pieces, just to give myself something to do. I looked up at the screen one last time to see Edward creating an ice sculptor of the one person he loved and the one person who loved him.
[1] For anyone who doesn't know what The Big Comfy Couch is, it's a child's show (think preschool) about this clown girl and her little doll who have a house with huge furniture and stuff. They pretty much teach you how to count and stuff. I absolutely LOVE that show and if you haven't seen it, I would suggest it. It's almost as good as Blues Clues and Bob the Builder
[2] Okay for anyone who hasn't seen Edward Scissorhands, you should. Plain and simple,ne? It's a Tim Burton film and it has Johnny Depp and Winona Ryder. It's a movie about a boy who was created by a scientist, but before he could finish the boy, the Scientist died of old age. Therefore, Edward was left with scissors for hands. One day, a kind lady finds Edward up in the castle that he was created in. She brings him down to her quiet suburban home where her family lives. It's mostly about him trying to find acceptance for what he is and going through the troubles of being in love with someone who he thinks doesn't love him back. I know that my summary doesn't do it justice, but still, you should see it. It is amazing.
Ookay, how bad was it? Be truthful. I thought it was boring and drawn out, but hey I liked writing it. My ryou explainng what it would take to love speech didn't come out as powerful as I hoped, but oh well. I really do love that movie and that show (hums the song). I almost cried when writing about Edward though. The movie tears me up...
Cain: Let's get this over with...

It's a movie about a boy who was created by a scientist, but before he could finish the boy, the Scientist died of old age. Therefore, Edward was left with scissors for hands. One day, a kind lady finds Edward up in the castle that he was created in. She brings him down to her quiet suburban home where her family lives. It's mostly about him trying to find acceptance for what he is and going through the troubles of being in love with someone who he thinks doesn't love him back. I know that my summary doesn't do it justice, but still, you should see it. It is amazing.
Ookay, how bad was it? Be truthful. I thought it was boring and drawn out, but hey I liked writing it. My ryou explainng what it would take to love speech didn't come out as powerful as I hoped, but oh well. I really do love that movie and that show (hums the song). I almost cried when writing about Edward though. The movie tears me up...
